2 * 10KW Electric Showers in Domestic House

    Hi,

    I am considering installing 2 electric showers in a domestic house. I understand the standard Electricity Supply and Fuse (60A) is too small to support 2 Electric showers simultaneously.

    There is an interlocking system available. Not ideal for me...

    I would like to consider increasing the electrical feed to the house. House is in a housing estate.

    From the ESB application anything bigger than 16kVA is considered non-standard and there are 2 options available (20kVA & 29kVA) before 3 phase is required.

    Assuming my math is correct, I would be looking to request 29kVA (126Amps).
    Is this correct?

    In order to achieve this, what would ESB need to do? I assume as it is single phase, no new cables are required unless a bigger cable is required?
    New Meter? bigger fuse in fuse board? Will I pay higher monthly service charge?

    Thank you.

    /Dave
